Latest Takeover Rumour. The Moores / Noell one

[TommyDavo]

now if only we had a board that thought like that and not what was in it for them personally.....

anybody heard of such a thing?

How many shares on the market now? A respected poster on here says none. Are you saying they are praying the Board boosts their share price as high as possible? Good luck to them all btw, if you buy shares you hope to make a gain irrespective of how it comes about. Speculation I believe

the bubble is well on its way to bursting.... the chinese are making major strides. The premier league is on its way down...

Bubble will burst eventually, but I think it's only just begun to grow. PL TV revenue hasn't yet matched NFL TV revenue. If the PL earned £1 per person in the world that's only £6B annually--overseas rights are still at £3B. I think we're more likely to see league champion nearing £500M from TV money in a few years than we are to see the bubble burst. When PL TV revenue crosses £20B £16B annually*, let's revisit the bubble question.

*Got carried away, let's talk when it doubles from where we are now.

Other respected posters have highlighted that any shares recently purchased were done so by Mr. Bill.

Other shareholders outside the grandees have no influence and I assume would like to remain shareholders, it is kudos above speculation for them. I don't know how these things pan out, if it is just purchasing a good majority or other.

But the point I was alluding to was there has been no investment from senior board members other than share purchase from which they would profit handsomely, the infrastructure of the club is nigh on eradicated, which leads me to believe that a takeover would be due to income generation soaring through tv rights, more likely short term and the ability to maximise that as a profit generator, not overall 'success' of the team/club.

The issue for Everton is that income attracts capital which then increases that income further, and the later to the party you are in attracting that capital then the more difficult it is to catch up.

The view that a new owner who can be a step up on our existing owners but cannot mix it with the big boys is acceptable, is in my opinion entirely wrong and dangerous.

There's a huge step change occurring in the Premier, the old Sky four have become the well capitalised six plus one or two hopefuls competing for 3 domestic trophies, 4 (possibly 3) Champions League places and one or two Europa League places.

Currently we are not in the "well capitalised six" and our position in the one or two hopefuls below that, is increasingly under threat.

I have a huge concern that unless the new owners (whoever they may be) can compete with the top 6 to make it a top 7 then we are at best a mid-table club. The problem with that is that the competition gap increases each year.

For those interested in economics and football there's a huge quantitative easing happening in football presently, and the lessons of QE in the real economies since 2008 is that if you have excess income or available capital you succeed beyond your wildest dreams. If you have neither, then the gap between the "haves" and the "have nots" becomes so great that it will never be breeched again.

The challenge for the board if they are in any way serious about finding the "right" owner is not the bidder who offers the highest to existing shareholders, it is the bidder that delivers Everton to the highest land.

These are defining moments in our club's future.

For the record Bill Kenwright has not acquired shares for at least a couple of years - he made a small increase in his holding in 2013 from memory - I'll have to check.

And your educated opinion on this happening would be?

And your educated opinion on this happening would be?

That depends entirely upon the three largest shareholders, do they accept the highest bid for their Everton shares or do they accept a bid which is best placed to advance Everton (assuming they had such a choice)?

How do you think it will go down?

I have no idea mate, genuinely, assuming the talk of interested parties is true, then only those with knowledge of all offers and future business plans could say with any certainty.
